Portrait · Raph_PH / CC BY 2.0 Olivia Rodrigo Singer, songwriter and actor
Born 2003
Olivia Rodrigo is an American singer, songwriter and actor whose screen career preceded her first pop album. An only child, she grew up in Southern California with a teacher mother and a therapist father, attending auditions and singing at local talent shows. Her family moved to Los Angeles while she was in middle school. She played Grace Thomas in An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success, then Paige Olvera in Disney’s Bizaardvark and Nini in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. The latter also introduced her songwriting through All I Want. In a 2023 interview she described learning to build songs around piano chords while working as a young actor, then developing songwriting as a craft rather than relying only on spontaneous emotion. Drivers License began her solo breakthrough in 2021, followed by SOUR, made with producer and songwriting collaborator Daniel Nigro. Its success brought three Grammy wins in 2022, including Best New Artist. GUTS, partly recorded at New York’s Electric Lady Studios, followed in 2023; the expanded GUTS (spilled) arrived the next year. Her filmed work includes the SOUR road documentary Driving Home 2 U, a Netflix GUTS World Tour concert special and an interview appearance in Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery. In 2025 she headlined Glastonbury and performed with Robert Smith; the festival recording later became a live album. Alongside music, her Fund 4 Good supports organisations working for women and girls. Her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, was released in June 2026. She discussed its literary and post-punk influences in interviews and began The Unraveled Tour in Hartford in September. Its European dates remain forthcoming. A December 2026 Los Angeles Jingle Ball appearance remains an announced future engagement.
